Orange Basil Chops Recipe

For the entree, Bernadette Bennett contributes her mouthwatering Orange Basil Chops. The no-fuss pork chops and simple sauce come together easily on the stovetop in one skillet, so cleanup is a breeze. With its hints or orange, garlic and basil, it's tasty main dish that impresses company yet is ready in no time.—Bernadette Bennett, Waco, Texas

"I browned the chops really well, then let them simmer in the sauce with the lid on, for about an hour. Each time the sauce reduced, I would add a little water and put the lid back on. This made them VERY tender and the family loved them."
